christian_a faith_n will_v undoubted_o be_v productive_a of_o all_o those_o good_a work_n to_o the_o performance_n of_o which_o our_o most_o holy_a profession_n oblige_v we_o to_o proceed_v therefore_o further_o upon_o this_o point_n will_v be_v altogether_o needless_a and_o i_o hearty_o wish_v it_o be_v as_o needless_a to_o enlarge_v upon_o those_o several_a adversary_n who_o set_v

lord_n that_o buy_v '_o they_o 2.1_o 2_o pet._n 2.1_o but_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o observe_v first_o that_o when_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v we_o to_o contend_v earnest_o for_o the_o faith_n there_o be_v necessary_o imply_v some_o person_n who_o will_v be_v constant_o gainsay_v and_o oppose_v it_o some_o adversary_n which_o we_o be_v to_o encounter_v and_o conflict_n withal_o which_o be_v

weapon_n we_o be_v to_o make_v use_n of_o whilst_o we_o endeavour_v earnest_o to_o contend_v for_o the_o faith_n and_o then_o lest_o any_o one_o shall_v be_v discourage_v in_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o duty_n by_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o work_n or_o the_o many_o difficulty_n which_o he_o be_v to_o encounter_v it_o will_v be_v requisite_a in_o the_o three_o place_n to_o show_v what_o mighty_a encouragement_n we_o have_v to_o persuade_v we_o to_o a_o constant_a perseverance_n in_o our_o christian_a warfare_n what_o bless_a assistance_n be_v offer_v to_o we_o and_o what_o glorious_a
